INDIAN    SIGN    TALK. 


I'HEFAVE. 


The  present  seems  a  fitting  ojtportunity  to  prepare  a  brief  resume  of  the 
history  of  this  idea  of  printing  the  gestures  of  the  Indinns'  Si^n  Lan^un^e 
i7h  such  order  that  Indians  who  know  the  si^ns  nii^ht  heeome  readers  of 
si^ns,  and  in  the  hope,  if  readers,  the  si>ins  eould  he  utilized  as  a  means  of 
educating  the  adult  elass  in  any  matter  that  eould  be  explained  in  their 
sign  language. 

Having  lired  nearly  all  m'f  life  in  rontaet  with  Indians,  I  hare  noticed 
their  liahit  of  gesturing  in  their  coniniunications  between  themselves,  and 
when  talking  to  whites;  but  it  did  not  occur  to  me  that  their  gestures  meant 
any  more  than  tfwse  of  some  ivhitc  men  u'ho  throw  their  arms  about  like  the 
sails  of  a  crazy  old  wind  mill  n-ithout  thought  of  method,  or  of  conveying 
any    idea  whatever. 

Jiut,  when  the  Smit/isonian  Institution  asked  eolleetorsof  Indian  matters 
to  take  notice  of  signs  and  make  it  a  /lart  of  their  work,  I  began  to 
believe  there  might  be  .something  in  it,  and  when  in  1  880  the  Bureau  of  Eth- 
nology issued  its  volnm.inoa^  report  on  this,  and  other  matters.  I  became  fully 
interested  and  determined  to  ilrop  the  collertion  of  Indian  uu>rds  and  devote 
myself  to  the  investigation  of  the  gestures  called  Sign    Talk. 

Skipping  the  years  of  di/ficuity  incipient  to  many  new  investigations,  I 
came  to  the  point  where  f  saw  I  must  abandon  the  rules  laid  down  for  guid- 
ance in  representing  signs  as  btin^  needlessly  burdensome,  and  another  ftlan 
occurring  to  my  mind  which  ]tvomised  better  results,  I  adopted  the  idea 
generally  observed  in  this  work. 

All  Imlian  gestures  have  some  essential  position,  and  my  effort  has  been 
to  learn  that  position  and  to  make  a  diagram  of  it,  showing  mtwement  by  a 
dotted  line  to  or  from  that  essential  position.  1  also  usually  represented  the 
position  as  seen  while  making  the  signs  with  my  own  hands. 

The  result  was  a  diagram  so  plain,  that  the  Indian  himself  could  read  it 
as  soon  as  he  learned  the  me  of  the  dotted  line  sluxving  the  movement. 

When  J  realized  that,  T  redoubled  my  efforts,  believing  they 
could  be  utilized  as  a  means  of  enlightenment  to  all  sign  talk- 
ing tribes,  especially  to  .inch  as  had  passed  .school  age.  How  well  my  part  of 
this  work  has  been  done,  I  leave  for  interested  parties  to  decide.  I  could  fill 
several  pages  with  interesting  matter  concerning  the  .struggle  from  this  point 
of  conceiving  of  tlie  idea  and  its  accomplishment;  the  years  of  privation  be- 
fore receiving  any  assi-stantse  front  others,  but  I  forbear.

A  TABLE  OF  ERRATA 

IT  HAS  BEEN  SUGGESTED  THAT  A  TABLE  OF  ER- 
RORS SHOULD  BE  SUPPLIED.   I  HAVE  LOOKED 

THE  WORK  THROUGH  AND  DECIDED  THAT  IT  IS  IM" 
PRACTICA.  SUCH  A  TABLE  WOULD  SWELL  THIS 
VOLUME  OUT  OF  ALL  PROPORTION.

A     DISTA.vT        DELATION 


^ 


MISSIONARIES  TELL  US  THAT  CHINESE  WRITTEN  OR 
PRINTED  CHARACTERS  ARE  REALLY  PICTURES  OF  OB- 
JECTS, AND  AS  SUCH  CAN  BE  READ  BY  ALt  EDUCA- 
TED CHINESE.  AND  SERVE  AS  A  MEDIUM  OF  COMMU- 
NICATION BETWEEN  MEN  OF  DIFFERENT  PROVINCES 
AND  DIALECTS  WHO  COULD  NOT  POSSIBLY  UNDERSTAND 
THE   SPOKEN   LANGUAGE   OF   EACH   OTHER. 

FOR  INSTANCE.  A  LAWSUIT  IS  ALWAYS  REPRESEN- 
TED BY  A  PICTURE  WHICH  TO  THE  CHINESE  MIND 
REPRESENTS  TWO  DOGS  FIGHTING,  AND  ALL  MEN  UNDER- 
STAND THAT  WMITTliN  OR  PRINTED  CHARACTER  FROM 
Oi»4E  END  OF  THE  CELESTIAL  EMPIRE  TO  THE  OTHER. 
ALTHOUGH  EACH  MIGHT  HAVE  A  DIFFERENT  WORD  OR 
PHRASE  TO  EXPRESS  IT.  THE  SCRPTURES  PRINTED 
IN  THE  ORDINARY  CHINESE  COULD  IF  CIRCULATED  BE 
READ  GENERALLY.  ALTHOUGH  THE  MISSIONARY  GOING 
FROM  ONE  PROVINCE  TO  ANOTHER  COULD  NOT  PREACH 
SO   AS   TO   BE   UNDERSTOOD. 

THIS  ILLUSTRATES  THE  WAY  IN  WHICH  THESE  CARDS 
WILL  CONVEY  GOSPEL  LESSONS  TO  WIDELY  SEPARA- 
TED TRIBES  OF  INDIANS  WHO  ARE  .-AMILLIAP  WITH 
THEIR   ALMOST   UNIVERSAL   SIGN   LANGUAGE.
